HyMENAL.
Dec. S.-Married, at the residence of
the brides parents, neal Locust Mount,
December 80, 1885. W. Brewer Hale, of
Terrell. Texas, and Miss Allie Mitchell,
Rev. Hyder Crouch officiating. Mr.. Hale
is n of our boys who left here about
four years ago, no doubt thinking of his
lady love, g" go to prepare a place for
you.U Surely it is a compliment to ou
beautiful mountain girls that after me
has admired the richest and sweetest
flowers of the Sunny South" our flow
er garden should be invaded and our
choice rose be broken from the parent
stem. One hundred and fifty invited
guests assembled at the splendid home Of
the bride to participate in the enjoyment
OF the nuptial occasion. Owing to the
great number present, the ceremony had
to be performed upon the veranda in or
der that all might see. My pen fails me
in giving al adequate description of the
festal board around which were gathered
our youth, beauty and intelligence, as
well as the aged poor, who, alike, helped
to relieve it of its rich viands or "life's
.substantials," which make the heart of
the epicure TO bound for joy. Among
other bridal presents was an elegant To.
BILE set OF colored cut glass. presented by
j. ID. Lyon. A reception was held the
day following at the beautiful residence
of the groom's father, james E. Hale,
which was no less grand in its pretensions.
The dining arrangements were complete
and the table service and good things
were simply superb. The host and hostess
spared no pains in making the occasion
enjoyable as more than one hundred
guests can testify. Mr.. Hale has robbed
our community Of one of its sweetest
treasures and we will not cease to
miss her, while we will ever pray that
her eye may not be dimmed by sorrow
nor the southern sun cause to fade the
roses on her checks. They will leave for
Terrell about the 10th inst.

INSTITUTE NOTES.
After our two days feast Of those
things which strengthen our physical
nature w proceeded to Cahal Springs
where an intellectual feast was being
served by the teachers'af the county.
AS the secretary will no doubt furnish
q report Of the proceedings, | will not
enter into detail but will simply say that
It was a grand success. The house was
full day and night. Some of the old.
or teachers said that they had never at
tended a better one.
1t was the first one ever held here, and
the community at large join me in send
Ing an invitation to the teachers to come
again.
Seventeen teachers were enrolled dur.
ing the session and the work of the in
stitute was of a practical nature.
Every teacher in the 14th district was
present. The 14th furnished three and
the balance was scattering.
1t seems to me that directors should see
that their teachers attend these meetings
and employ no n who will not attend.
